new Jade Carey interview

… after having the college season and just having so much fun and only focusing on that, I didn’t wanna do this summer because I wanted to end on just being able to focus on college gymnastics and take a break,” said Carey of her decision not to compete in elite gymnastics this year.

“I knew that if 2028 was something that I wanted to go for, maybe taking 2025 off would just help my body and mind relax a little more.”

Carey isn’t ready to jump fully aboard the 2028 train, but she’s not ruling anything out at this point – even a run at a third Olympic Games. …

For now, it’s time for a break – the first in nearly five years, says Carey.

In Tokyo, Simone Biles urged Jade Carey to believe in herself – it stuck with her

IF we had mixed pairs Gymnastics in Paris …

Katherine Keirns on Reddit (freifraufischer) posted possible National pairs teams IF there had been medals awarded in this event in Paris.

Mixed Pairs Gymnastics is currently being planned for the L.A. Olympics 2028.

Sound interesting for fans. Exhausting for the top gymnasts.

Gender MIXED Gymnastics at L.A. Olympics

Just announced.

Details NOT yet announced.

Expanded mixed events: archery, athletics (4x100m mixed relay), golf, gymnastics, rowing coastal beach sprint and table tennis will all see the inclusion of a new mixed team event.

This seems to be part of the attempt of the IOC to have an equal number of men and women’s teams. An equal number of Olympic medals for male and female.

On the other hand, for Gymnastics, the quota of a maximum of 96 athletes in Artistic stays the same. Therefore, any mixed pairs would have to come from the pool of already qualified competitors.
